AutoCAD
• AutoCAD is a CAD (Computer Aided Design or
Computer Aided Drafting) software application for 2D
and 3D design and drafting.
• It is a basic tool for drafting of drawings which are
later printed and presented on site.
• Software is capable to handle large sized data in 3d or
2d.
• AutoCAD Civil 3D software is a Building Information
Modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering design
and documentation.
ETABS
• The Most Comprehensive Software for the Modeling,
Analysis and Design of Buildings
• Fully integrated interface within all latest Windows
operating systems.
• Optimized for modeling of multistory buildings
• 3D perspective, plan, elevation, developed elevation,
and custom views
• 3D model generation using plans and elevations
• CAD drawing/editing for fast, intuitive framing layout
ETABS
• Extensive Analysis Capabilities
– Linear Static Analysis
– Linear Dynamic Analysis
– Static and Dynamic P-Delta Analysis
– Static Non-Linear Analysis
– Dynamic Non-Linear Analysis
– Pushover Analysis
– Multiple Response Spectrum Analysis
– Multiple Time History Analysis
– Construction sequence loading analysis
STAAD.Pro
• STAAD.Pro is a Structural analysis design software.
• It includes a State of art user interface,
visualization tools and international design codes.
• It is used for 3D model generation, analysis and
Multi material design.
• The commercial version of STAAD.Pro supports
several steel design and Timber design codes.
MsProject
• Microsoft Project (or MSP) is a project management software program designed
to assist project managers in:
₋ Developing Plans
₋ Assigning Resources To Tasks
₋ Tracking Progress
₋ Managing Budgets
₋ Analyzing Workloads
• MSP offers Robust management tools with the right blend of:
₋ Usability
₋ Power
₋ Flexibility
• MSP enables you to stay informed and control:
₋ Project work
₋ Schedules
₋ Finances
Primavera
• Primavera Systems Inc. provides project and program management
software for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry.
• Primavera's solutions let users measure progress, assure governance,
improve team collaboration and prioritize project investments and
resources.
• Primavera Project Planner 3.1
– SureTrak Project Manager
• Primavera Project Management 6
– Primavera Contractor
• Primavera Evolve – Resource Management
• Primavera Inspire – Forecasting & Integrating tool with SAP
• Contract Manager – Document Mgmt., Job Cost & Project Control
Solution
Autodesk Revit
• Autodesk Revit is a design and documentation platform that enables
you to use a single, integrated building information model to
conceptualize, design, and finally document a project.
• In Autodesk Revit, drawing sheets, 2D views, 3D views and schedules,
are a direct representation of the same building information model.
• Using its parametric change engine, you can modify the design at any
stage of the project.
• The building information modeling (BIM) provides the right approach to
building design, construction and management.
• Autodesk Revit is a building design and documentation platform, in
which a building model is created using parametric elements such as
walls, doors, windows, and so on.
• All the building elements have inherent relationships with each other,
which are tracked, managed and maintained by the computer.
SOFTWARE IS A GREAT SLAVE BUT A
TERRIBLE MASTER.
USE SOFTWARES TO REDUCE YOUR
EFFORT BUT RELY ONLY ON
HUMAN INTELLECT
THANK YOU.
